Revolution isn't a thing that happens overnight. It's not a thing that - the orgasmic storming of Buckingham palace and everything's alright in the morning, we've got a revolutionary society. We've got to realize that as things get harder - when we have a revolution, when we're headed towards a revolution things'll be harder still - And when we've obtained our revolution it doesn't stop-it continues on and on and on - It continues on until WE are the moderates. Right? When we are the moderates that's when we have a revolution. When ordinary people say "Anarchists? Ah, fuck - they're a load of fuckin' liberals-they don't believe in revolution at all, ah , fuckin' hell they're useless, like, you know - Yeah, that's what I wanna see. That's what I'm fuckin' fighting for.

This no voting bollocks only serves to hand power to the right. To abolish government we need to replace it but it cannot be replaced if we allow a right wing government to have absolute power to outlaw anything they dislike.

Vote for left wing parties, get a sympathetic government. Or at least a government which is held in check by a strong left opposition. Just remember that a vote every few years isn't your only contribution to politics. Join a union, volunteer, campaign, make change. But don't hand power straight into the right's hands by giving up your vote. A right that many have fought and died for. From suffragettes to working people.
